Bulacan in its 430th year: Gov. Mendoza bared plan to engrave Bulacan in Guinness Book
“Sulong Pa, Bagong Bulakenyo!”
This was the battlecry of every Bulakenyo as Bulacan Day was celebrated in its 430th year last August 18, 2008 at the provincial capitol, Malolos City. That red-letter day was topped off by a program concelebrated by a mass spearheaded by Bishop Jose Francisco Oliveros D.D. of the Diocese of Malolos started the program, to anticipate the occasion of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which fell on the same date. In his homily, Bishop Oliveros asked the Provincial Government to do their job for the welfare of Bulacan, and stressed taking consideration the value of life in taking sides of the Reproductive Health Bill, which is still in vis-a-vis argument between the church and the government, in a desperate attempt to control population. After that, the raising of the Philippine Flag together with the singing of the Philippine National Anthem that was led by the Himig ng Bulacan Choir succeeded by the offering of wreath of flowers by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Cities and Municipalities Officials in front of the statue of Gregorio Del Pilar, signaled the start of the celebration.
Sipag, Husay at Talino: Tatak ng Bagong Bulakenyo was the theme of the celebration. An interpretative dance by the 2004 Gawad CCP Awardee, Barasaoain Kalinangan Foundation brought the audience to a ride down memory lane depicting 430 years of journeying to Bulacan being a Province on August 15, 1578. After that Words of Welcome, Salutation to unwavering success of Bulacan throughout the centuries and recognition to the Government Officials present during the celebration were given by Board Member Ernesto Sulit, as a prologue to Governor Mendoza's speech.
Some of the Provincial, Municipal and City officials that participated in the event were Governor Jonjon Mendoza, Board Members Ernesto Sulit, Ferdie Estrella, Michael Fermin and Monet Posadas, House of Representatives Majority Floor Leader Glenn Santos and Minority Floor Leader Ariel Arceo, Sangguniang Panlalawigan Members Centi Cruz and Pat Laderas, Bulacan 4th District Representative Jonjon Delos Santos, PNP Bulacan Chief Allen Bartolo, League of Municipalities of Bulacan Mayor Domeng Marcos, Mr. Arthur Robles from the Lone District of San Jose Del Monte, Plaridel Mayor Tessie Vistan, Baliwag Mayor Romy Estrella, Hagonoy Mayor Angel Cruz and many others.
The speech delivered by the Governor followed. He recalled the blood-letting efforts of our ancestors and asked modern-day Bulakenyos to continue what they have started. "Ang Bulacan ay mga mamamayan na pwedeng magyabang!" he exclaimed.
Furthermore, he stated his appreciation to the people, for giving him a chance to serve the province. "Di ko inakalang ang simpleng Jonjon na dati'y kapitan lamang ng barangay ay magiging ama ng Bulacan," he recalled. He also stated the setbacks he encountered during the first years of his administration, citing the fact that Bulacan is the richest Province of the Philippines. "Akala ko ay pwede ang lahat. Kailangan ay pantay-pantay ang mayayaman at mga mahihirap. Kahit tayo ang pinakamayamang probinsya sa buong bansa ay kulang pa rin. May mga taong pag kinausap mo ay mga maayos kausap, ngunit pag nakatalikod ka na ay tsaka ka titirahin. Hindi man ako ang pinakamagaling na Gobernador kasunod ng mga nakaraan na sila Gobernador Pagdanganan at Josie Dela Cruz na aking kapatid, ang maipagmamayabang ko lang ay ako ang Gobernador na nagbibigay ng tunay na serbisyo - serbisyong nararamdaman ng mga Bulakenyo.
He stressed that Bulakenyos must unite for a better Bulacan - Bulakenyos who are not for selfish ambitions. "May oras sa pagbibiro, May oras sa pagseseryoso," He added.
Those words brought everyone in the occasion in a halt as it impacted their minds not until he bared the plan to engrave Bulacan in the Guinness Book of World Records by making the longest pastillas in the world that is estimated to be 200 meters in length, that astonished the Bulakenyos and ended Governor Mendoza's speech. The unveiling of the tarpaulin signaled all systems go for the longest pastillas, with it, the 28 -day countdown duration which will end on September 12th by the Provincial Government ended the program.

CICT Challenge
In almost 2400 students one should out stand. Someone who has the ability to pass every challenges. Someone who will fight until the end. A student who has the courage to overcome every obstacles. It is all or nothing!
CICT students, let me present to you the first ever CICT survivor, Mr.Glenn Mendoza of BIT 2-I. He was the one who overcome every challenges brought by the CICT week. I asked Mr. Mendoza what he felt while doing the challenges and this was his response:
“Kabado syempre, hindi ko ine-expect na mananalo ko, masaya ko!”
Mr. Mendoza did six(6) challenges in order for him to win the 2GB flash drive. Those challenges were CICT Diskette Hunt, CICT Army challenge, CICT Egg Hunt, CICT Salon, I-jug-jug mo and the IT Hep-Hep!, Comp Tech Hooray! Challenge.
CICT Diskette Hunt
The diskette were spread out on the bleachers of the gymnasium. Forty(40) students who found a diskette were included on the next round.
CICT Army Challenge
Sack race, crawling under the ropes and sipping “water candy”, these were the three extraordinary test on the Army challenge. Teamwork was tested on this part. The forty(40) students were divided into four (4) groups (A,B,C and D), each group were composed of ten(10) members. Two(2) teams were given the chance to move on the next round. Those two teams were B and C.
CICT Egg Hunt
Teams B and C were no longer team this time because on this challenge, new teams will be formed. Every student should find a plastic egg from the faculty members and SWITS officers. There was a letter inside the egg(A and B). Two new groups were formed again. Every student should know how to deal with the other competitors in order for him to win.
CICT Salon
Salon Challenge? I'm sure this challenge was all about beautifying. In this challenge, every member should apply lipstick, wear a duster and open an umbrella. The first team to finish the race with the least time will move on to the I-jug-jug mo challenge. Team A won on this round.
I-Jug-Jug Mo
It was like “Tak-Tak mo o Tatakbo” of Eat Bulaga. A question and answer portion. Now, every competitors should make a choice if they will go to letter C (for BIT-Comp Tech students) and I(for I.T. Students). In this round, you will be tested if you were really a CICT student because the questions were course related. If you answer the question correctly, you will move on to the last round. Five(5) students qualified on this challenge.
IT Hep-Hep, Comp Tech Hooray!
When Mr. Keno Piad says I.T, the student should clap his hands and shout Hep-hep!,and when he says Comp Tech, the student should raise his hands and shout hooray! This challenge was very confusing because you need to response quickly. The person who will not be eliminated will be the winner. And that person who won every challenge is Mr. Glenn Mendoza.
This CICT challenge brought every students to laughters and thrill. I'm sure the other participants were really happy and thankful because somehow they've became part of the CICT week. Most of the students said that CICT week was more exciting and adventurous.
